Talk:S. L. Kirloskar

Serious error
The original contributor to the article mentioned the creator of the Kirloskarwadi complex as Shantanurao Laxmanrao Kirloskar and further edits seem to have continued the same. However, according to and other authoritative sources, the founder is Laxmanrao Kirloskar (full name: Laxmanrao Kashinath Kirloskar) and that Shantanurao is his eldest son. I will make the changes accordingly through a mix of move and re-directs. However, the stamp referred to in the article is commemorative of Shantanurao Laxmanrao Kirloskar  and the information would be retained in Shantanurao's article. --Gurubrahma 17:42, 27 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Now, it has been corrected (after my edits) in terms of factual accuracy. Also, the clean-up tag may be removed, imo. Any comments??
